Cindy Sheehan Q&A: Peace icon on the mend, looking ahead

Cindy Sheehan says she’s taking a hiatus from her activist role to heal

Oh yes, she did get a few bruises trying to get out of the straitjacket she was in for some time.

[LA Woman3]

Cindy Sheehan embraces a fellow war protester at the end of this year's peace vigil in Crawford. This year's protest garnered considerably less publicity than her 2005 vigil in Crawford.

The growing anti-war movement fueled by last summer’s peace demonstrations in Crawford resurfaces in Washington, D.C., today...

They've grown from 25 to 27.

[theDentist]

Better yet, the "growing" anti-war movement has grown appreciably since they went on their hunger strike and gained an average 17 pounds!

"My residence is going to be a tree house. We’ve got some plans for amazing tree houses!"

Shades of Butterfly McQueen.

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

Guess you can only get so much mileage from standing on the grave of your dead son.

[Dallas59]

ugh.

[FlingWingFlyer]

She's only 49? Holy smokes! Talk about "rode hard and put up wet."

[TexasCajun]

Look who's doing the riding. Lew Rockwell, Cindy's not so secret boy-toy!

How disgusting is that image....

[AbeKrieger]

I wish nothing but sadness and scorn upon this woman, all the days of her life. She has flogged the corpse of her son in public for all it is worth, and she's a filthy disgrace for exploiting his death as she did.

[Carolinamom]

If Casey was against the war, as she says, why did he RE-enlist?

Interesting that Cindy is going to be living in a tree house. LOL

[McLynnan]

This may sound weird, but I’m going to live here. My residence is going to be a tree house

Praying this is the rantings of a lunatic. She can't be serious.

[L98Fiero]

"Praying this is the rantings of a lunatic. She can't be serious."

I think she is serious and I think she is a lunatic.

"Growing anti-war movement". Hilarious.

[taillightchaser]

Where's the barf alert???????

[ashamedtobefromparkridge]

I happened to have the Bernstein Bears on the TV in thebackground.

First draft

Way down deep in bush country
Sits the head of the anti war idiocy
Cindy Sheehan's Casey's mother
with her son Casey's brother

They're kind of fat around the torso
A lot like terrorists even more so

Shee han Sheehan she wants to terrorize you and me
Now she is going to live in a tree.

[svcw]

Not only that, why did he enlist in the first place?

[Carolinamom]

I have a theory...he wanted to get away from her.

[pandoraou812]

A treehouse. Hmmmmmm Maybe a family of rabid raccoons will bite her.

[Inge_CAV]

I have been thinking of the "Lumber Jack" song.

WHAAAAA,WHAAAAA,WHAAAAA ... TIMBER!!!
